Exactly. I don't see them firing him either, definitely not now. It wouldn't surprise me if they use the health card and then he never returns to managing. I know that sounds terrible, but it's a way for both parties to save face. I honestly was a little surprised he survived the whole "Sandoval checking out girls on Instagram mid-game fiasco". That had Chicken & Beer-gate written all over it.

That being said, Tito won TWO World Series Championships for them and they still gave him the boot.

You are probably right about them using the medical condition as a cover story. The season for the Red Sox is in the toilet this year, it won't be difficult to spin this as needed changes as well. Baseball is a very, "What have you done for me lately" sport.

Being a Red Sox fan I'm completely fine with this. Win the World Series if you want to! As long as it's not the Yankees.

I'm still reeling from the news that Don Orsillo is leaving NESN. Since Nomar got traded I have not been as perplexed by a move done by a professional team I follow. I know it's a network thing, but John Henry might as well be the owner.
